The null hypothesis H0: there is no difference in Smith s third grader and statewi
de third grade. Against the alternative H1: there is a difference in Smith s third
grade and statewide third grade.
The test statistics t=(x-mu)/sigma*sqrt(sample size)
Under the null hypothesis mu=0

In the problem there is given mu= 124, sigma=7 and x=137, sample size =100
Test of mu = 0 vs not = 0
